Insurance companies, unfortunately, do not cover treatment for pre-existing conditions. It would make no sense for them to cover something that they know is going to cost them way more than what you would be paying in premium. I am sorry that I have to tell you this, but that how it works.

Hi Sandeep,

There are insurance companies which provide coverage for pre-existing diseases including heart, blood pressure (which is very common in Indians) etc. While purchasing an insurance you need to see few things like stability period, coverage amount, deductibles etc. It may be bit expensive than normal coverage. The amount also varies according to various factors of stability period, coverage amount, deductibles.

Remember not to buy insurance from any Indian company, prefer Canadian one's.

Good Luck

I doubt about any insurance company will be able to help to you out, but you can always call them and ask. one thing you can do, take your dad to hospital where they will charge you right away.
I opted insurance for my mother and took her once here to doctor got refund only after she left from Canada after 6 months.

Only option would for you to pay for dialysis. Also you would need to find a clinic that has the space to treat him. The realty is that he would never pass a medical if is required. It will be an extremely expensive vacation if he gets approved.
